H. Jon Benjamin has made quite a career with his unique voice in the past, working on such comedy cartoons as Adult Swim's Home Movies and Comedy Central's Dr. Katz. More recently, though, he's been voicing the title characters on FX's Archer and FOX's Bob's Burgers -- and recent reports reveal that you will soon be hearing both of his characters at once.

As Benjamin explained, the unorthodox crossover follows a kind of Bourne Identity plot line. "It starts off with Archer as Bob, making hamburgers, but he doesn't know that he’s Archer," said the voice actor. "He's at the restaurant and these, like, I think Russian thugs come in, and Bob dispatches them expertly. And then he's like, 'What just happened? How did I do that?' So he has to try to figure out why he's so good at killing people." Bob's wife Linda, voiced by John Roberts, will also be making an appearance.

As far as the animation style is concerned, Benjamin said it will still be animated like any other Archer episode, but with "the accoutrements and characteristics of the [Bob’s Burgers] characters."

That makes perfect sense. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I bet you are exactly right. The sudden lawsuit, the planted document that Donna never actually received, it all makes sense now.

Yeah, I thought that as soon as I saw Tanner back in the picture. It makes no sense for him to basically come out of nowhere and fight that hard to get Harvey disbarred.. and then just drop it. I really think Hardman was behind it all. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

Gahh I'm so excited for the new AD I may have to start a rewatch when I get home from work. When's the new stuff supposed to be released?

That brand-new season isn't going to be a traditional one, though: it will only be 10 episodes long, and while original producers Imagine TV and 20th Century Fox TV are behind it, the episodes will not air on the Fox network. Instead, these 10 episodes will appear in one big hilarious bunch on Netflix sometime next year.

Shooting for this new season starts tomorrow, more than six years after the show's original run ended. Here's the best news: all of the original cast members will be returning for this 10-episode run. That includes Jason Bateman and Michael Cera, who have both become big movie actors since the end of "AD."

If this 10-episode run proves successful, Netflix may consider ordering another 10-episode run. However, one way or another, this renewal is likely to lead to an "Arrested Development" movie, which will likely close the door on this brilliant little single-camera comedy that could.
